Tally Sessions has joined the cast of the Goodspeed Opera House production of Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn, which is based on the Academy Award-winning film and will begin performances Sept. 19.

Tally Sessions

Sessions, who played Jigger in Goodspeed Musicals’ 2012 production of Carousel, replaces the previously announced Corey Mach in the role of Jim Hardy. Mach has exited the production to pursue an upcoming opportunity.

Here's how Goodspeed bills the musical: "Happy holidays! Check into the tuneful world-premiere musical about a Connecticut farmhouse transformed into a jubilant nightspot — but only on holidays. From Valentine's Day to the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving to Christmas, expect a cornucopia of hit songs by Irving Berlin in a dance-dizzy romance based on the classic film that first starred Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. Raise a glass of cheer to 'Happy Holiday,' 'Easter Parade,' 'Be Careful, It's My Heart' and more of the world's greatest show tunes." The design team includes Anna Louizos as scenic designer, Alejo Vietti as costume designer, Tony winner Jeff Croiter as lighting designer and Jay Hilton as sound designer.

Holiday Inn is produced in association with Universal Stage Productions and by arrangement with The Irving Berlin Music Company. It is produced for Goodspeed Musicals by Michael P. Price.
